The Wasted Years
Did I waste the years and
hasten the ending
Did I close myself away
with the drinking when I
should have been, fence-
mending
Oft times we learn to late
what the consequences of
our selfishness will be
swiftly rendering
Tis funny how the way we
should be acting is reversed
We're born and fuck-up our
relations
How come it takes loss and
wisdom with aging to realize
the times been wasted
You looked me in the eyes with
tears and heart-cries trying to
amend but, all I heard was the
revving of the engine of my
Yamaha motor-bike and my friends
saying, "Let's load-up and ride,"
"Come on, Mother-fucker, we've got
the brew and the lines,"
So off we went with a nod from my
head, and to you, "We'll talk about
this later, in bed,"
But as empty as the words became,
so did the bed one day
Days gone by, wasted, with only me
to blame
hasten the ending
Did I close myself away
with the drinking when I
should have been, fence-
mending
Oft times we learn to late
what the consequences of
our selfishness will be
swiftly rendering

should be acting is reversed

Great write babe, So many times we look back on our life and see where we fucked up and wish we could change the past.

True. At least make amends for it so that we can say that, "We're Sorry."

You two are so damn adoreable it makes me want to squeal!!! Lolz ^.^
A lot of truth here, Pan; though it seldom helps to dwell on all the fuck ups we've made in the past.

Well winter he is so easy to love, but he can be an ass, but then we all can. lol

Yes Winter, "Ozzie and Harriet." Lol!
"And, you have a purty mouth, let me hear you squeal like a pig." J/k, Lol
Excerpt from the movie, "Deliverance," if you've ever seen it.
Oh yes, I know that it is self-loathing and can be destructive but, I don't constantly do it, just every now and then memories re-surface and the associated feelings that were present at the time. It doesn't help that I have two daughters w/ my ex: 11 and 13, who are 3000 miles away. So, I constantly think about them.
My 13 y/o once told me when she was about 4 that she loved mom and grandma and grandpa but, me the most so, that left an profound sentiment in my heart. I was letting her sit beside me in my truck and shift the gear when I was driving around the yard. It was cool.
Thanks for reading, Winter... Pan

Rofl @ Deliverance. I have a story for that one. Epic movie.
Kids have such a profound effect on one's psyche. My little girl will be two in December and I would fight through hell and high water for that little monster.
